2023 N.E. CANNABIS COMMUNITY AWARDS

The Only Cannabis Awards focused on the New England Cannabis Community!

Focused exclusively on the New England Cannabis Community,  the idea of these awards is not a “who’s best” contest, but rather a chance to spotlight, elevate, & appreciate some of the people and organizations who have worked hard and done great things for the New England cannabis communities and industries.  Please take a few moments to help us recognize NE’s brightest stars!
The 2023 NE Cannabis Community Awards Show is free to attend, with a cash bar & multiple smoke breaks! It will be Friday, Night March 10th beginning at 7pm as part of the New England Cannabis Convention at the Hynes Convention Center!

PLEASE NOTE:  NECANN does not curate or endorse the nominee list, or the eventual winners.  The nominees and winners are not “NECANN’s  picks”, and being on the nominee list does not mean an endorsement or approval by NECANN in any way.  They are simply a list of the people, companies, etc. who received the highest vote totals in the nomination and final ballots – we just tally the votes and celebrate the results.  We hope everyone understands that the spirit of the New England Cannabis Community Awards is not for us to judge or rank people and organizations, but rather to shine a spotlight and show appreciation for the community as a whole.
